Oscar,

Thanks for the update!

Obviously, sorry that you are juggling this very specific ripple in your lives on top of another ripple that you have been so wiling to share with the group. However, congratulations to you and Lilah and welcome to the world, Archer!

My sister-in-law had twin girls who were delivered quite early, but they are both thriving and are an epic handful years later, having just started first grade. I'm hopeful for you and Lilah that your newest addition to the family is strong and brilliant and beautiful and will continue to be for your family.

Thank you for being so open with the group with the trials and tribulations of your family. It's nice to be able to support (from a distance) and cheer on people we care about.

Congratulations Okku! That’s fantastic news! Best wishes to your family! I’m sure it was terrifying for a bit, our son gave us quite the scare, too. I’m sure you’ll be telling him the story before you can seemingly blink! Legendary people need a nice back story, this is just the beginning!

My 5 years of sleep deprivation confirms this statement…

Congrats, Oscar!

Congratulations Oscar!! Our third was a NICU baby as well, and it was stressful at times, for my wife especially. The more we learned to lean on those NICU nurses until we really had a good handle on things, the more it became a (mostly) stress free situation. Enjoy the extra help for as long as you have it. Your little guy will grow up faster than you realize

Congratulations - for the family addition, the new job, and (not to be overlooked) the amazing amount of grace and dignity that you utilized to handle the bad hands you were dealt. This thread should be an inspiration for anyone going through a tough time.

Congratulations! Big news on both fronts, but one is especially special. These moments now, in the hospital; in the NICU, tired, scared, elated, exhausted and all the other emotions; these are the moments that will always live with you. They are some of the true milestone moments of your life. You will look back (sooner than you can imagine) so just be present for all of it. Again, congrats Oscar.

Congrats, and don’t blink. They grow up fast.
